Value Proposition
• Clear gold focus ‐ commodity with strong investor interest
• Advanced gold project in SA ‐ recent 107,000 ounce maiden Mineral
Resource estimate at Barns deposit with resource growth achievable
• Drilling imminent – commencing early Oct16 at nearby Baggy Green target
can materially build on Barns resource and deliver near term news flow
• High grade epithermal gold project in QLD ‐ Four drill‐ready targets in high
grade Drummond Basin where success likely to trigger significant re‐rating
• Peer group comparison ‐ suggests ADN is significantly undervalued and
presents a low cost entry to sound gold plays
Drummond epithermal gold
Classic epithermal gold targets
• 100% owned, 833 km2 project
• Targeting high grade gold hosted
by epithermal quartz veins
(eg Pajingo, Yandan and Wirralie)
• Granted tenements (black borders)
secure the emerging “Glenroy Field”,
similar to the >3Moz Pajingo Field
located to the west
• 2016 applications (blue borders) secure
gold prospective Drummond Basin and
Anakie Inlier geology – (northern
tenement has just been granted).
• Historical epithermal style gold
prospects confirm presence of
mineralisation in all areas
What is an epithermal gold system?
• Form during periods of active
volcanism associated with subduction
of tectonic plates
• Gold deposited in quartz veins at
relatively shallow depths below the
surface
• Fluids vent on surface as hot springs Active epithermal
and geysers, depositing sinter terraces system Rotorua, NZ
• Bonanza gold grades (Pajingo resource
in 2000 was ~4MT at 15g/t gold)
• Epithermals can be very large deposits
‐ Pajingo >3Moz gold
‐ Fruta del Norte (Ecuador) >13Moz gold
Epithermal geological processes
were occurring in the Drummond
Basin in the early Carboniferous
(350 million years ago)

Glenroy Field
• Drummond Basin Cycle 1
geology – main epithermal
gold host in region
• Numerous sizable gold‐bearing
epithermal systems outcrop
at surface in the Glenroy Field
• Level of systems exposed
at today’s land surface range
from palaeosurface (sinters),
through upper chalcedonic
(arsenic) zone and occasionally
into crustiform‐colloform
(gold) zone
• High grade surface rock chips
to maximum of 55.4g/t gold
confirm bonanza grades
are present
• Extensive pathfinder metal
anomalism
Bunyip drill target
• Prospect discovered in late 2015
• Surface rock chips to 19.65g/t gold
• Over 2,000 metres of quartz veins
exposed at surface
• Strong associated arsenic and
molybdenum pathfinder metal
anomalism
• Nearby outcrop of palaeo‐surface
sinters confirm upper levels of
epithermal system exposed at
current land surface (Arsenic zone
exposed at surface – gold zone
preserved at depth)
• This target has never been drilled ‐
all required approvals are in place
to drill test
Additional drill targets delineated in early 2016
• Poppi’s Prospect – surface rock
chips include 6.04g/t, 4.06g/t,
3.54g/t and 2.70g/t gold. Silver
to 22.7g/t present. (Gold zone
exposed at surface)
• Roo Tail – rock chips include
2.19g/t and 1.09g/t gold.
Arsenic to 120ppm
(Transitional arsenic to gold
zone erosional level – gold zone
preserved at depth)
• East Central Limey Dam ‐
numerous anomalous rock
chips to 1.27g/t gold. Arsenic
to 721ppm. Chalcedonic veins
predominate. (Arsenic zone
exposed at surface – gold zone
preserved at depth)
• Poppi’s, Roo Tail and East
Central Limey Dam can be
drilled during Bunyip testing
Drummond summary
• Land holding 100% owned and significantly expanded in 2016
• Granted tenements secure the Glenroy epithermal field – multiple epithermal
systems identified
• The Glenroy systems are generally not deeply eroded ‐ target gold zones likely to be
preserved at depth
• Discovery of a deposit like Pajingo, Yandan and Wirralie would be transformative
• We now want to drill test Bunyip, Poppi’s, Roo Tail and East Central Limey Dam –
all required heritage clearances, approvals etc are in place
• Low cost surface work planned on new ground to feed target pipeline
Eyre Peninsula gold
Large project in Central Gawler Gold Province
• Substantial 2,807km2 project
• Barns Camp gold deposits (Barns, Baggy
Green, White Tank) all 100% owned
• Deposits found in early 2000’s when gold
was ~A$550/ounce. Increase to price of
around A$1,700/ounce has changed the
economics very favourably
• Maiden 107,000 ounce Mineral Resource
recently announced for Barns.
• RC drilling imminent at nearby
Baggy Green ($200,000 PACE grant)
• Thurlga JV with Investigator Resources
– 333km2 tenement adjacent
to Paris silver deposit
– $90,000 PACE drilling grant to test six targets
Barns – interpreted deposit model
Detailed deposit modelling completed in Q1 2016
• The model confirms the presence of two flat lying supergene gold zones, below which
lie up to ten stacked west dipping primary lodes

Barns gold deposit summary
Current status
• Discovery and early delineation when gold around A$550/oz
• Increase in gold price to >A$1,700/oz dramatically improves economics
• 107,000 ounce maiden Mineral Resource recently estimated
• Comparable gold ounce resource position to much higher valued SA peers
Future work
• Metallurgical testwork to establish recoveries and inform flow sheet design
• Iterative economic scoping/feasibility studies
• Infill drilling to convert Inferred Resources to Indicated Resources
• Exploration to extend deposit down‐dip and to south
Barns – part of a larger gold camp
Additional gold resources near Barns would improve project robustness
• Past drilling has discovered other prospects that can build local resource base
• RC drilling at Baggy Green commencing early Oct16 ($200,000 PACE grant awarded)
Baggy Green prospect history
• Originally indicated as 3km long
gold anomaly in regional calcrete
geochemical survey
• Systematic aircore drilling defined
coherent zones of gold
mineralisation in saprolite
beneath shallow cover sediments
• Potentially economic grade and
width intersections recorded
in 2004 RC drill holes when
project in JV with Newmont
• Newmont’s withdrawal in early
2005, coupled with lacklustre gold
price saw 10‐year hiatus in activity
Baggy Green – cross section through southern target zone
Principal mineralised shear structure is well defined
• Average true width of primary zone is 27 metres
• Gentle dip – 450m west of eastern limit, the mineralised zone is still <200m below surface
• Indications that higher grade gold shoots are present within plane of structure

Baggy Green current RC drill programme
RC drilling commencing
early Oct16
• Goal is to test local targets North target
that can materially build on
established 107,000 ounce
Barns Mineral Resource
• Drilling to be completed at
both southern and northern
targets at Baggy Green
• These targets have already
recorded good gold
intersections in past RC
holes and are so are highly
rated opportunities
South target
Baggy Green South – plan projection of initial target
Sizable 600m x
250m initial target
zone defined where
mineralised
structure will be
within 100m of the
surface
• This is a ~7 million
tonne volume where
gold potential is high
• If 1/3 of this volume
is mineralised at
Barns resource grade
it could double the
local resource base
This target alone
could materially
build the local
resource position
Baggy Green South – potential for much bigger target
Baggy Green Plan
Initial shallow target zone is part
of larger potential target.
• The southern zone is interpreted to
have a strike of 2000 metres and
remains open to the SW
• Assuming consistent dip and width,
to 200 metres below surface the 500m
volume where gold potential is high
is ~50 million tonnes
If even a modest portion of this
prospective volume is mineralised
at economic grade, the deposit
could be of significant size.
Initial shallow
Larger target zone
target zone
Baggy Green North – 2nd opportunity 1.9km north of south zone
• Currently defined by only a single traverse of RC holes
• Broad widths of mineralisation indicated, including some good grade sub‐intervals
• Drilling in current programme designed to confirm strike and dip of mineralisation
Eyre Peninsula Gold summary
• JORC Code 2012 compliant maiden Mineral Resource for Barns totals 2.11
million tonnes at 1.6g/t gold for 107,000 ounces at a 0.5g/t cut‐off
• Next steps at Barns include metallurgical testing to establish gold recovery and
economic scoping studies
• Barns and neighbouring gold prospects can grow local resource base
• Baggy Green targets have delivered good grade historical drill hits and are
interpreted to have good size potential
• Current drill programme leveraging $200K PACE grant and delivering news flow
• Valuation comparison with peers suggests significant upside possible as we
progress this project
